LISTEN UP PLS... Heres a true story, because i did it even before my faith was still a baby, and it worked... but lost it all in one mistake... but for those who have gone through the Narrow Gate successfully, whose faith became permanent, and do not know what to do with their new-found God-given power, what God gives them after that will never be lost. GLENNAS GOAL BOOK In 1977, i was a single mother with three young daughters, a house payment, a car payment and a need to rekindle some dreams. One evening, I attended a seminar and heard a man speak on the I x V= R Principle (Imagination mixed with Vividness becomes Reality). The speaker pointed out that the mind thinks and pictures and not in words. And as we vividly picture in our mind what we desire, it will become a reality. This concept struck a chord of creativity in my heart. I knew the Biblical truth that the Lord gives us the desires of our heart (Psalm 37:4) and that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7). I was determined to take my written prayer list and turn it into pictures that depicted the desires of my heart, I arranged them in an expensive photo album and waited expectantly. I was very specific with my pictures. They included 1. A good-looking man. 2. A woman in a wedding gown and a man in a tuxedo 3. Bouquets of flowers (Im a romantic) 4. Beautiful diamond jewelry ( I rationalized that God loved David and Solomon, and they were two of the richest men who ever lived) 5. An island in the sparkling blue Carribean. 6. A lovely home 7. New furniture 8. A woman who had recently become vice-president of a large corporation. ( I was working for a company that had no female officers. I wanted to be the first woman vice-president in the company) About 8 weeks later, i was driving down a California freeway, minding my own business at 10:30 in the morning. Suddenly, agorgeous red-and- white cadillac passed me. I looked at the car because it is a beautiful car. And the driver looked at me and smiled, and i smiled back because i always smiled. Now i was in deep trouble. Have you ever done that? I tried to pretend that i hadnt looked. Who me? I didnt look at you! He followed me for the next 15 miles, i parked, he parked... and eventually i married him! On the first day after our first date, Jim sent me a dozen roses. Then i found out that he had a hobby. Hi hobby was collecting diamonds. Big ones, and he was looking for somebody to decorate. I volunteered! We dated for about two years and every monday morning, i received a long-stemmed red rose and a love note from him. About three months before we were getting married, Jim said to me, I have found the perfect place to go on our hoeymoon. We will go to St. Johns Island down in the Carribean. I laughingly said I would never have thought of that! I did not confess the truth about my picture book until Jim and I had been married for almost a year. It was then that we were moving into our gorgeous new home and furnishing it with the elegant furnitures that i have pictured. (Jim turned out to be the West Coast wholesale distributor for one of the finest eastern furniture manufacturers.) By the way, the wedding was in Laguna Beach, California, and included the wedding gown and tuxedo as realities. Eight months after i created my dream book, I became the vice president of Human Resources in the company where i worked. In some sense, this sounds like a fairy tale, but it is absolutely true. Jim and i have made many picture books since we have been married. God has filled our lives with the demonstration of these powerful principles of faith at work. Decide what it is that you want in every area of your life. Imagine it vividly, then act on your desires by actually constructing your personal goal book. Convert your ideas into concrete realities through this simple exercise. There are no impossible dreams, and remember, God has promised to give His children the desires of their heart. ~ Glenna Salsbury PS lets do it together and pray for each others dreams to come true God bless!
